S10 Frame Swap kits - Which company do you recommend?

Hey Guys, thanks for the input on the last post. I found two companies that make a kit for the s10 frame swap.

E-Z Chassis Swap and Advance Design Engineering.

Which is the better company for the swap kits? Both seem decent quality but the cost difference is about $500.00

Again, any help is appreciated.

I would also read 62chevyII's build before you buy a kit.

Save your money for tools and do it yourself. There is so much info on doing this swap yourself on the web.

Hey RootBeer 6117 (Joe), you going to the swapmeet in Lee's Summit this weekend?

I'm with the other guys. I don't recommend anyone's kit. I recommend building your owns. There are several good products and details out now that I wish I had just 5 years ago when I did my first one.

If you are set on buying a kit, EZ chassis. Their kit is more complete.

I am also considering the kit for my 3/4 ton long bed, just to take some of the guess work out of the build. Are there kits for the wiring? And the gauges? Seems like that would be one of the hardest parts.
